Application Process
Applying for an Imagine America scholarship is easy and only
takes a few moments of your time. The first, and most important, step
is to decide which school you wish to attend and the program you plan to
study. After that, the rest is simple! All applications must be completed
online via the Imagine America web site.
Process
- Before applying, you must first choose a career college and a program
of study. Click here to search by program or institution name.
- Participating career colleges are hyperlinked so that you can click on their names to
submit an awards application. Click on a name to begin the application process.
- Follow the screen prompts to select the state, city and name of your high
school. Note: If you're unsure whether your high school is enrolled
in the program, ask your guidance counselor. There
is no fee for enrolling your high school.
Guidance counselors can enroll their high school by calling 202.336.6724
or e-mailing us at scholarships@imagine-america.org
with the following information:
- High school name
- High school full address
- High school phone number
- High school guidance counselor or contact full name
- High school guidance counselor/Contact e-mail address (If your
guidance counselor does not have an e-mail address, please have
them contact us at 202.336.6724)
- After selecting your high school, you will be presented with a short
application form to complete. Review your completed application form
by selecting "Preview and Send Your Application." To submit
your application, select "Submit This Application."
- Your application will be sent electronically to the designated
guidance counselor or Imagine America contact at your high school.
The contact will review and accept or deny the application. If approved,
the application is sent electronically to your career college choice.
- The career college will then be prompted to indicate via
e-mails to both you and your guidance counselor if a scholarship is available.
They will then be prompted to confirm your acceptance. At this
time, the career college is e-mailed your application information.
Note: Acceptance is always conditionally based on the student's ability to meet
the college's general admissions requirements.
- Once accepted, an Imagine America certificate will be mailed
to the recipient.
- After you receive your certificate and letter, it is important that you now contact your
career college and complete any pre-admissions testing and applications, if needed.
